  • Fireworks display for the Grandes Prairies festival in Arras

    Fireworks display for the Grandes Prairies festival in Arras

    Arras celebrates 15 August at the Grandes Prairies

    On 15 August, Arras celebrates the Fête des Grandes Prairies, a popular event featuring food stalls, concerts, entertainment and fairground rides throughout the day. The fireworks display, set off from the Grandes Prairies at 11 pm, is the highlight of the day.

    A display designed for a large open space

    Unlike a fireworks display in the heart of a historic town centre, the open space of the Grandes Prairies allows us to stage a large-scale display, with high-altitude effects and wide bursts, visible to the entire audience gathered at the venue.

    A site open to the public all day

    With entertainment, food and drink, and concerts organised from midday onwards, the venue attracts large crowds well before the fireworks display. Our pyrotechnicians coordinate the safety perimeter with the city’s services, taking into account the public’s extended stay at the venue.

    A summer event for the people of Arras

    Over the years, the 15 August fireworks display has become one of the highlights of summer in Arras.

  • A fire concert at Plessis-Brion Castle

    The annual fire concert at the Château du Plessis-Brion

    Although less well-known than other major estates, the Château du Plessis-Brion attracts a loyal audience for its annual fire concert.

    Fireworks display set to music

    We built the display on a musical programme that builds in intensity up to the finale. This compositional work requires several weeks of preparation before the day.

    Firing in a rural, wooded area

    The estate’s natural surroundings mean that particular care must be taken to manage the risk of fire and protect local wildlife, particularly during the dry summer months. Our teams adjust the firing plan according to the weather conditions observed in the days leading up to the event.

    A highlight for local residents

    For the surrounding rural villages, this fire concert is one of the major gatherings of the year.

  • Musical Evening at Chantilly Castle with a fireworks display

    Musical Evening at Chantilly Castle with a fireworks display

    Chantilly Castle, the setting for the fireworks

    For La Nuit Musicale, which combines a concert and a pyrotechnic show, we fire the display in front of the Château de Chantilly, its moat and its park designed by Le Nôtre.

    A light show synchronised to live music

    The fireworks display was built note by note, in collaboration with the musicians, so that each pyrotechnic flourish matches a specific point in the score played live.

    Pyrotechnics and historic monuments

    A fireworks display in the vicinity of a listed monument requires a thorough assessment of safety distances and the pyrotechnic materials used, in coordination with the Chantilly estate. Our pyrotechnicians work with the estate on each firing position.

    An annual event at the estate

    The Nuit Musicale returns to the Chantilly estate every year.

  • A multimedia show for the Le Havre tramway

    A multimedia show for the Le Havre tramway

    A rebuilt city and a new tramway

    Rebuilt after the war according to Auguste Perret’s plans, Le Havre has renewed its tram network. The inauguration was accompanied by a multimedia show designed to highlight this link between architectural heritage and contemporary transport.

    Lighting and video mapping for the opening

    Illuminated station signage and video mapping highlighted the clean lines of Le Havre’s architecture. The show was timed to coincide with the new train’s first official journey, the highlight of the opening ceremony.

    Working on a World Heritage Site

    The rebuilt city centre of Le Havre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means there are strict rules governing any lighting or projections onto the façades. The teams worked in consultation with the city’s heritage departments to approve each installation.

    A tramway presented to residents

    The first run of the new tram became a public moment, shared with residents.

  • Fireworks displays for private parties at Dangu Castle

    Fireworks displays for private parties at Dangu Castle

    A private château that hosts receptions

    Dangu Castle regularly hosts high-end private functions, such as weddings and corporate events, within its beautifully preserved architectural setting. For these events, we build the fireworks display into the staging of the evening.

    A fireworks display designed for a listed estate

    We adapt the power and height of the display to the size of the grounds and to the old buildings, so that the fireworks can be seen from the various vantage points across the estate.

    Our precautions at Dangu Castle

    At Dangu Castle, we take additional precautions: assessing safety distances from historic buildings, selecting suitable pyrotechnic products, and liaising with the site’s owners or managers regarding the areas to be protected.

    Private evenings all year round

    Weddings and corporate evenings: the fireworks close the reception, at the time agreed with the hosts.

  • 14 July celebrations in Levallois and Courbevoie

    14 July celebrations in Levallois and Courbevoie

    A national holiday shared between two local authorities

    Levallois-Perret and Courbevoie, separated by the River Seine, have opted to stage a joint fireworks display on 14 July. The display can be seen from both banks.

    A display visible from both banks

    We designed a fireworks display launched from the Levallois Bridge, intended to offer an unobstructed view from both the Levallois and Courbevoie quays. The firing angle and the height of the effects have been calculated to ensure a balanced display on both sides of the river.

    Safety for a display over the Seine

    This joint fireworks display involving two local authorities required enhanced administrative coordination: cross-authorisation, river and land safety zones, and coordination with each town’s emergency services. Our pyrotechnicians handled both files at the same time.

    A budget shared between two towns

    By pooling their resources, the two towns offer their residents a single fireworks display, funded by both.

  • Private dinner at the Cazeaudehore restaurant

    A reception in a tree-lined garden

    The Cazeaudehore restaurant, renowned for its tree-lined setting, hosted a private reception that concluded with a fireworks display.

    A display on the scale of a garden

    We designed a close-range firework display, set off at a short distance from the guests, featuring low, concentrated effects suited to a private garden. This proximity guided our choice of pyrotechnic materials.

    Discretion, security and respect for the neighbourhood

    A fireworks display on private property is subject to the same regulatory requirements as a public display, with particular attention also paid to noise and the impact on the neighbourhood. The timing and intensity of the display are adjusted accordingly right from the design stage.

    Fireworks in the running order of the evening

    The display closes the reception, timed to the running order of the evening.

  • A fire concert at the Festival des Forêts

    A fire concert to classical music

    The Festival des Forêts, dedicated to classical music in the heart of nature, traditionally closes its main event of the year with a fire concert. We have been the festival’s pyrotechnic partner for more than ten years. Each year, we match a pyrotechnic display to a work performed live.

    Setting a display to a symphonic score

    Our teams work on the score in advance to synchronise each effect with the orchestra’s nuances: crescendos, silences and soaring passages.

    Firing in a natural setting

    For this display in the forest, we pay particular attention to the risk of fire, carry out a detailed meteorological assessment and sometimes make last-minute adjustments. Our pyrotechnicians assess these factors right up until the final hours before the display.

    The close of the festival evening

    The fire concert closes the festival’s main evening, in the same programme as the works performed.

  • Fireworks displays at the Fête des Flambarts in Dreux

    Fireworks displays at the Fête des Flambarts in Dreux

    A traditional festival rooted in local history

    The Fête des Flambarts is a traditional event in the Drouais calendar, where fire already holds a strong symbolic significance.

    Creating a fireworks display in the spirit of tradition

    We built a display in keeping with the tone of the festival. The choice of colours and the rhythm of the display were designed to complement the warm and friendly spirit of this local celebration.

    Rules for firing in a town centre

    A fireworks display in the town centre requires a restricted safety perimeter and a detailed assessment of the fallout zones, in accordance with Decree No. 2010-455 of 4 May 2010 on recreational fireworks. Our pyrotechnicians prepare each application in consultation with the town hall and the prefecture.

    A celebration that brings together all generations

    We fire this display at the heart of the Fête des Flambarts, in front of people of Dreux from every generation.

  • Opening of the L’Isle-Adam Marina

    Opening of the L’Isle-Adam Marina

    An opening ceremony by the water’s edge

    To mark the opening of the new marina, the town of L'Isle-Adam chose a fireworks display launched from the banks of the River Oise, offering a clear view of the spectacle from all the quays.

    A display beside the Oise

    We designed a progressive display, intended to be reflected in the water and to highlight the silhouette of the new jetties. From the quays, the audience sees the fireworks and their reflections on the water of the marina.

    Pyrotechnic safety in urban and riverine environments

    For this riverside display, we set an appropriate safety perimeter, assessed wind conditions and coordinated the display with the river authorities, in addition to the standard procedures with the prefecture. Our pyrotechnicians approved each firing point before the festivities began.

    Fireworks to open the marina

    With this display, the town paired the opening of the marina with an evening of celebration for its residents.
